Why wouldn't humor cause you to want to be close to someone? Also people laugh become something is funny. Maybe the mechanism of laughter signals trust or shared understanding that facilitates group bond, which means it causitive

Comparing the Economist to an iPhone to Android switch article is not a fair comparison. The Wired iPhone2Android article is and was never designed to be content. You shouldn't expect it to be either honestly. Apple has great content o

Maybe there's something to be said that the users with downvote ability have earned enough karma through upvotes. The community determines in this way that the only ones that can silence others are those with majority valued opinions

Cuddles and I assume you mean the stronger version of companionship seem to be physically comforting. Paying someone solely to behave like we have a trusting bond, that they care that I exist, is paying someone to lie to me. That's mor

I wonder if repeat business is a problem. The article mentions a fake engagement, which isn't really a friend just a way to appease his parents. Paying to rent a friend could be useful for things like that. But for real friendship I th

interesting view that bypasses a great filter. Advanced without technology. Highlights that technology really might be an anti-pattern. But Carl Sagan would probably refute that - "It is perfectly possible to imagine civilizations of p

I assume it was because QR codes are futureish and someone claimed this was innovative

My office put up signs with a giant QR code and "Lost?" The QR code links to a web page with a map.

Survival but only in the extremely long term sense of the word. The sun will rise tomorrow and the next day, there's no pressuring impending need to jump planets. This plus the expense is why its slow going. But the important part is t

The production system for building most cars, I'm not sure about planes, is heavily dependent on built in quality. There are final quality checks, but not a comprehensive double checking of everything. The assumption is someone or some

Why would this stop at smartphones? If the FBI's arguments would be upheld, couldn't the FBI require home manufacturers to build in literal back doors for use only by the government

I work at mega corp. Finding a small company is key. A hiring manager here wouldn't even be able to submit this to HR. Maybe her resume which would go into a giant stack, as if submitted online to be reviewed by committee.

I was in a relationship and after my companion decided to end it, I found out it was to join someone living in a van. Don't be too quick to discount relationships with that lifestyle

The implications are quite important for future technologies. Neural implants for example. Neural implants are currently used for prosthetics and paralysis. A forced backdoor would kill all research to develop a co-processor directly linked

I wonder how long SpaceX will maintain ops in their Hawthorne facility before opening a new one. With the larger rockets, I would think shipping via highway would become a problem. Also I wonder how feasible it is to continue to produce roc
